£16k

...thats right six-teen-fecking-thousand-pounds:eek:,wonkers:D

thats harsh man... were they not budging either? what your local scooby steeler offering you? nice those reims 6's like

Where was that???

I work in car sales and have access to the Glass' Guide and £16k sounds just about right.

Harsh.

I've taken a £5k hit on my WRX PPP in the past 2 months.

ewan

Holy cow :eek: What is an MY04 STI worth then or even a MY03?

why would you want to down grade? to a sh#ty 6 when you have a my05 sti which is far superior then eny evo including the 9.

that cant be true mate.they are worth atleast 20-22k and on a trade in 18-19k

no way. 3 month ago before free prodrive etc they were about 21K now you can get a pre reg for 18k max from a garage so trade in your looking at 16K ie a 3-5k loss sadly

21k?i dont think so.they are still in show rooms going for 23k plus.

you give me the phone number and the details of this so called show room selling them at 21k.

I'm happy to be put straight, but why in God's name do people buy brand new cars? That dep. just staggers me....i'd be pissed right off.

Well I have only really just bought my 02 STI got it for £13000, looked pretty much everywhere and the prices tend to vary, I couldn't find any blob eye STI's for under £17000 really, and most of the bug eye STI's were going for well over £13000 ie up to the £15000 mark, Just look on the auto trader website. The WRX's tend to lose a lot more value though.

Dealers are knob heads at the end of the day, they will always offer you a crap price, if you really want an EVO I would sell your car privately then go and get an EVO, like some one else has said why on earth people buy new cars I will never know, I would much rather wait until they are a couple of years old and bag a bargin!!

Any way why would you want an EVO, they are not a nice place to sit in, even alll the experts Tiff, jezza etc.. say they prefer the Scoob!

Dealers are offering up to 23% off 05 Impreza's and Legacy's in order to make room for the 06 models.

Hence I was offered 17k tops for my 9 month old Spec B (27k new) in p/x on a new Isuzu Rodeo, naturally I told them to shove the Rodeo and I'm going to run the Spec B for another 2 years and ride out the depreciation.

PS, I'll give you 16k for that rattly old STi. ;)

lol

mate a wrx ppp list price is 20500 as ppp is free now. thats before any dealer discount which is widely available now as the new 06 is out in 3 months. 20K max. Im in the market mysef and lost of people on here are taking advantage of the new model coming out and buying the last blob eyes. even the wrx300 (a limited edition wrx ppp) can be had for sub 19K

We aint talking about wrx's here tho.the thread is about the new my05 sti which is very differnt to the my04 sti unlike the wrx there is no change.

Hence the intrest in the my05 sti because it whoops evo's allday long and has alot more to offer then the wrx.

you cant compare wrx prices to sti's

Some guy is trying to make a very BIG profit i think :(
These are easily worth 20k part ex, id go somewhere else if they offered me that sort of cash :mad:

Tony

I was refering to the 5K hit ewanrw took on his wrx ppp that you mentioned.

yea an 05 sti gotta be 20K+ trade in

Or wait 'till they're 5-6 yr old and buy 'em for small change !

Late UK Classics are nigh on worthless now to how they were a year ago

Another reason why prices have dropped is because you can buy a evo poo60 for under 20k so alot of ppl have switched.
why have mitsi cocked it up for everyone.

I think its more to do with the sheer volume of imported Scoobs - especially wrxs

YOU NEED A RETHINK AN AN OPPORTUNITY TO DRIVE AN EVO 6
 

Think its time you drove an Evo 6 mate. Had a 5 and a 6 and currently got a 366BHP STI MY02 Believe me the Evo's inspire so much more confidence than Scoobys. Dont get me wrong I effing love my Scoob but active YAW nails the road like superglue. Think its time you respected technology and appreciated it as oppose to being so narrow minded.

Just coz you got a Scoob doesn't mean everything else is inferior

I think you need to drive the new my05 sti,i have had a 7,8 fq300 and a 8mr 340, these machines are much more superior then the 6, trust me when i say the sub is better.
It is much more of a drivers car.

I think its time you apperciate the my05 sti and get yourself booked in for a test drive.


Eny scoob untill the my05 STI are sh#t apart from the spec c and the s202.

I think you will find that statement is nonsense. :D

I think you need to learn how to drive!!! What a load of BO$$OCKS

my first scooby was a 93 wrx and i can drive them faster and safer then the P1 i had or my 05 sti the back end is just to lose on the 05 sti but looks good on full chat lol

PS.i think it looks faster than it is

You can check the glass' price on their website for £2.95 to see how accurate the dealers offer was, but £16k sounds about right. I know the thread was about the STi, but I can tell you as a fact that a 2005 WRX on a 54 plate with approx 7k miles, books at £14500 on trade in.

Add a couple of grand for STi.

I'm off tomorrow, but I'll have a look on tuesday at work and I'll get the trade in price for you if you want.

And for P1 owners, you'll get about £10k on trade in if your car is in mint condition.

ewan

just sold my P1 for 13.5 K WITH 65k on the clock and it was on and off the track and road lol now got 05 sti

went to get a evo 7 the P1 was not listed in GG so would not give me a price so wneh home and got the 05 sti

Subaru dealer offered me 14k for mine 3 days ago

£14k for the P1 ?

Take it. Thats a good offer. I had someone in looking to trade theirs in. We had to phone round a couple of Subaru dealers for an underwrite and the best price we could get him was £10k.
